<h2>Manchester United Data: Breaking The FPL Template Double Gameweek 25</h2>
<p>Ralf Rangnick has made a steady start at Old Trafford with Manchester United losing just once under the German. The implementation of Rangnick’s ‘gegenpress’ philosophy is a work-in-progress although recent performances against West Ham and Brentford have been positive.</p>
<p>In terms of <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/">team data</a>, Manchester United have produced respectable goal threat numbers over the last six ranking fourth-best for shots (93). Over the period, the Red Devils rank eighth for shots on target (27) and joint-seventh for big chances (13).</p>
<p>Defensively, Manchester United registered just one clean sheet over the period yet rank fourth-best for goals conceded (6). The Red Devils rank fifth-best for big chances conceded (9) but joint-sixth worst for shots on target conceded (31).</p>
<p>Manchester United appear weaker defensively on their right side ranking joint seventh-worst for crosses conceded (62) and sixth-worst for chances conceded (22) from that zone.</p>

<h2>Southampton &amp; Brighton Data: Breaking The FPL Template Double Gameweek 25</h2>
<p>Manchester United top <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/">Hub’s fixture ticker</a> for Double Gameweek 25 courtesy of their appealing home double-header against Southampton and Brighton. Immediate opposition Southampton have demonstrated <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/">impressive attacking numbers</a> over the last six ranking joint-best for goals (13) and third for shots on target (36).</p>
<p>Over the last six, the Saints defensively rank joint-worst for clean sheets (0) and fourth-worst for <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/">big chances conceded</a> (17). Notably, over the period Southampton ranked best in the division for set-play goals (5) and worst for crosses conceded from the left (91).</p>
<p>In terms of attack, over the last six Brighton ranked sixth-best for shots (88) but joint-eleventh for goals (9). Graham Potter’s side rank joint-best over the period for goals outside the box (4) which hints that even their low goal return could be unsustainable.</p>
<p>Defensively, despite one clean sheet over the last six Brighton rank fourth-best for goals conceded (6) and third-best for big chances conceded (6). Notably, the Seagulls are zonally weak on their left flank ranking <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/">seventh-worst for crosses conceded</a> from the left (68).</p>

<h2>Bruno Fernandes and Cristiano Ronaldo: Breaking The FPL Template Double Gameweek 25</h2>
<p>It was a case of cometh the hour, cometh the man in Double Gameweek 22 with the performance of <strong>Bruno Fernandes (£11.7m)</strong> a throw-back to last season. The Portuguese maestro produced two goals, two assists and four bonus points rewarding owners with a 23pt differential haul.</p>
<p>Over the last six, Bruno Fernandes has produced some of his creative best ranking first among midfielders for key passes (19) and second for <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/">big chances created</a> (3). The Manchester United playmaker boasts a majority share of set-pieces taking 14 corners and 4 attempts from set plays over the period.</p>
<div id="attachment_43864" style="width: 810px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-43864" class="wp-image-43864 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/FFStuffImage-26.png" alt="fantasy premier league tips gameweek 25" width="800" height="650" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/FFStuffImage-26.png 800w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/FFStuffImage-26-300x244.png 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/FFStuffImage-26-768x624.png 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/FFStuffImage-26-610x496.png 610w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><p id="caption-attachment-43864" class="wp-caption-text">Bruno Fernandes &#8211; Last Six Match Data</p></div>
<p>A frustrated and occasionally petulant <strong>Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.5m)</strong> is without a return since Gameweek 20 and was benched for the recent draw away to Burnley. The Ronaldo narrative can be spun two ways; he is either well-rested ahead of Double Gameweek 26 or disposable depending on both tactics and opposition.</p>
<p>In terms of <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/"><strong>underlying numbers</strong></a>, Ronaldo demonstrates solid goal threat ranking among forwards joint-second for shots (20) over the last six matches. The Portuguese marksman ranks third for shots in the box (15) but has lacked accuracy in finding the target with just three shots.</p>
<p>Ronaldo is finding advanced positions ranking joint-third among forwards for <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/">penalty area touches</a> (33) but has converted just one of his three big chances. A question remains over spot-kick duties as Ronaldo missed during normal-time against Middlesborough in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup.</p>
<div id="attachment_43863" style="width: 810px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-43863" class="wp-image-43863 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/FFStuffImage-25.png" alt="fantasy premier league tips gameweek 25" width="800" height="650" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/FFStuffImage-25.png 800w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/FFStuffImage-25-300x244.png 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/FFStuffImage-25-768x624.png 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/FFStuffImage-25-610x496.png 610w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><p id="caption-attachment-43863" class="wp-caption-text">Cristiano Ronaldo &#8211; Last Six Match Data</p></div>

<h2>David De Gea and Diogo Dalot: Breaking The FPL Template Double Gameweek 25</h2>
<p><strong>David De Gea (£5.3m)</strong> is owned by 60% of elite managers but has disappointed owners with just one clean sheet in the last six. Over the last six, De Gea ranks joint first among goalkeepers for saves (26) with his endeavours scoring well for BPS.</p>
<p>The Spaniard ranks second over the period among Manchester United’s defensive block for baseline bonus per appearance (16.67). DeGea has rated top for baseline bonus on two occasions over the period hinting the defensive returns for Manchester United should see the Spaniard haul.</p>
<p><strong>Diogo Dalot (£4.6m)</strong> has been preferred at right-back by Rangnick and provides a cheap route into the Manchester United defence. During the Rangnick era, Dalot has started seven league games out of a possible nine looking first-choice but not an absolute starter.</p>
<p>Dalot has demonstrated reasonable creative production with seven key passes and five successful crosses over the last six matches. Impressively, Dalot ranks first among Manchester United’s defensive block for baseline bonus per appearance (17.20) over the last six matches.</p>
<div id="attachment_43866" style="width: 1034px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-43866" class="wp-image-43866 size-large" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Capture1-1024x844.jpg" alt="fantasy premier league tips gameweek 25" width="1024" height="844" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Capture1-1024x844.jpg 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Capture1-300x247.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Capture1-768x633.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Capture1-610x503.jpg 610w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Capture1.jpg 1043w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><p id="caption-attachment-43866" class="wp-caption-text">Diogo Dalot &#8211; Last Six Match Data</p></div>

<h2>Conclusion: Breaking The FPL Template Double Gameweek 25</h2>
<p>As we approach <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fantasy-premier-league-ultimate-guide-fpl-tips/">Double Gameweek</a> 25 it is important to know that the average top10k manager has two ‘double’ players before transfers. The ideal composition of Manchester United assets would be a triple-up of <strong>Bruno Fernandes, Cristiano Ronaldo and David DeGea</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-captain-for-fpl-double-gameweek-25-fantasy-premier-league-tips/">Captaincy</a> appears to be a straight shoot-out between Fernandes and Ronaldo with the midfielder marginally ahead due to expected minutes. In terms of attacking Double Gameweek 25, I would recommend three Manchester United assets and a premium double is unfeasible with the returning <strong>Mohamed Salah (£12.8m)</strong> a priority.</p>
<p>My recommended gamble is <strong>Diogo Dalot</strong> who offers a cheap route into the Manchester United defence to provide some additional insurance. Dalot has offered decent creativity, scores well on the BPS system, and both opponent’s display weakness on their left flank.</p>
